Lightning Protection
Lightning protection is used to maximize the reliability of communications equipment by safely re-directing current from a
lightning strike or a power surge traveling along the Cat 5e/Cat 6 Ethernet cabling to ground using the shortest path
possible. Designing a proper grounding system prior to installing any communications equipment is critical to minimize
the possibility of equipment damage, void warranties, and cause serious injury.
The surge arrestor (sometimes referred to as a lightning protector) can protect your sensitive electronic equipment from
high-voltage surges caused by discharges and transients at the PoE.
Proxim Wireless offers superior lightning and surge protection for Tsunami MP.11 and Tsunami QuickBridge.11 products.
